There has been a lot of interest on this board lately to contact different manufacturers regarding their labeling practices. I found an informative article which describes "Good Manufacturing Practices" (GMPs) for allergenic foods processed on shared equipment lines.
Once we know what the food industry recommends for large food companies, we'll have an easier time figuring out which companies are safe for PAs. The food companies which follow the article's guidelines, such as Kellogg Canada, are safe. Now we need to determine and weed out which large manufacturers DO NOT follow the recommendations, and DO NOT label safely to account for trace amounts of allergen.

ConAgra is the next large company on our list to invite to our board to post about their current labeling and manufacturing policies. Please see the ConAgra thread in the ACTION FORUM to add your ideas and input for this upcoming E-mail Campaign. Thanks everyone!
I believe Quaker Oats in next on the list after ConAgra, just to keep everyone abreast of the ongoing Action items.
